Was an amazing Experience - I would do it again and again! Take the whole thing - zip and repeling. I am 60 and had no problem. Mind you - you have to climb, but the the experience and exercise is worth it. Also a very safe operation. You have a safety line at all times. The guides were friendly... More

As I already said, the zip lines were very good and fun but the whole thing wasn't very well organized and although the instructors knew very well what they were doing up there and were always very conscious with safety, they couldn't handle a group very well and they didn't explain us how everything would go down and how to...

My husband and I did Via Ferrata and zip line tour couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Natalia was amazing and organized everything in advance including pick up/drop off from the hotel in Cusco. The zip line is in Urubamba which is 40-45 minutes drive from Cusco going through the mountains and valleys. Very scenic ride... When we... More

If you are interested in some good physical challenge, adventure, and breathtaking views, the via ferrata/zip line experience in the Sacred Valley is a great activity. The guides were superb, leading us and always watching to make sure my 11 year old son was secure and safe. They told us much about the valley and we could see the ruins... More

My husband and I did both the Via Ferrata and the zip lines. We are in our 50s and in ok shape. Neither one of us has ever rock-climbed before, but we have been zip-lining numerous times. Both activities were a blast. Jorge and Amerigo were our guides and both were extremely nice and friendly. My husband scrambled right up... More

The Via Ferrata takes about an hour and a half as you climb WWI style about 1000m up. Most of the first 900m is straight up, but you don’t have to have climbing experience to do it. You eat lunch at the top, enjoying the breathtaking view of the Sacred Valley. Then it’s off to the Zip Lines to come... More

Had a fantastic day climbing and zip lining with the fantastic team here. They couldn't have been more helpful and encouraging for my family as they scaled the heights before taking the plunge on the zip lines. Marco was amazing as our guide and great company. Overall couldn't fault this experience. More

Pleasant climb up 1000 foot rock face. So beautiful and fun. Climb is better than zip line down. Get to do short repel at end. Kids can do too. It is exhilarating to be standing on a tiny ledge 500 ft over valley. Totally safe though. Do not worry. More

We did the zip line tour without the Via Ferrata, and it was fantastic! The climb up to the first zip line is fairly intense - after about 10 minutes, you hook your carabiner into iron ropes for safety as you continue the climb. The climb is totally worth it, as the zip lines are incredible! The vistas and panoramas... More

Just got back from Peru and did the Via Ferrata. I have to say it was pretty awesome and a little bit scary. It was definitely challenging and I'm not in the best shape, but I was able to do it w/my 14 and 16 year olds. We had a great time although I was a little bit like the... More
